blaauw juniper

Post by de_keizer »

i did a search for blaauw junipers and only found 4 different trees so i figured id post a recent creation for everyone to have a look at. feel free to tell me what you think, good or bad as thats the only way im going to learn. please forgive my wiring i know it a bit shoddy but out of all my junipers this is the only one that bits back while wiring so i wanted it done as quick as possible.

figured since i can id try a video

You have some lovely complex curves in the main trunk, this should end up being a very fine tree.

Just for my 2c worth, the apex branch could possibly come down a bit, so that it's pointing west, along with the main trunk, not going off at a tangent. Maybe the top two branches on the right from the main trunk might end up a bit shorter or lighter? I'm sure you've got plans for where it's going.

Good tree, keep showing us how it goes,

Gavin

thanks im actually some what surprised how it turned out, i never would have thought it would have looked like it does when i bought the stock. it only looks like it does because after i root pruned it it fell over in the pot and i thought oh that looks interesting its funny how these thing happen sometimes. with the apex im going to let the tree grow for a year or 2 to let it recover and to see what other branches grow.
